Season Guide

''Note: This Article is about the seasons of the show. See the Episode Guide for individual episodes.''

Season 1 - 1991
Consisted of 24 episodes airing on CHCH-TV in Hamilton, Ontario. Established the format that would serve the show for most of its run, including the opening, a Possum Lodge escapade as related by Red, Handyman Corner and Adventures With Bill. The biggest difference from later seasons was Harold Green's tendency to purposely cut off Red as he tried to tell his stories.

Recurring Character Debuts: Red Green, Harold Green, Bill Smith, Ranger Gord, Glen Brachston, Dougie Franklin, Hap Shaughnessy, Bob Stuyvesant

Season 2 - 1992
Consisted of 24 episodes airing on CHCH-TV. Apparently due to interference from CHCH-TV, the format was changed to something resembling a sit-com, with a larger cast of characters (most of whom would not be seen in subsequent seasons) and ongoing plots played out on-screen. The only segment premiering this season to continue on is the glimpse of the Lodge meetings at the end of every show.

Season 3 - 1993
Consisted of 24 episodes airing on CFPL in London, Ontario and YTV.

Recurring Character Debuts: Buzz Sherwood
